Any tips of getting the stock oil pressure switch off. I can't seem to get a wrench on it? I'm trying to install my oil feedline. any ideas?

 

Plyers or channel locks. Be careful not to break it. Mine was kinda tight, too.

 

you can use a deep socket, last i remember its a 17.. maybe im wrong.. make sure your turning the correct way...

 

Forget that just get the AC Revolution Oil Filter Block...It had oil feeds ports right from where the filter would go...That way you dont have to worry about breaking the block by the oil pressure sensor on the block...http://wirednj.com/products.php?categ=0&categ2=36&mfr=8

 

I don't trust those. You are taking oil away from the motor and then you need to slow the flow down to supply the turbo. If you supply the turbo with too much oil it can lead to premature failure of the seals and force oil into the intake/exhaust which will cause smoke and so on.

not if you use a BSPT to NPT adapter, otherwise you can de-threads the block

got it off now., kinda broke the wire...gotta fix it. 24mm socket works.

 

yea its a tight fit. i had more trouble with the dam rubber boot. 3-4 oil pressure senders and i always dread those boots. u mean the wire that goes to the sender? if i remember correctly u can unplug that thing becore u even go for taking out the sensor itself. just something to remember next time i guess. but hey, if u plan to get an oil press gauge anyway, forget the wire and let it be. the stock one doesnt warn u till its too late anyway
